Austin Tudor Home Updates + Nursery Design

We’ve made several changes since we last shared an official home tour. We’re of the mind that a home is never really “done” and that making your space more functional, personal, and memory-filled is something to be slowed down and cherished. With the new nursery, a few more wallpapered rooms, and a refresh to the Snug, our ever-evolving space feels cozier than ever. Scroll through for a peek inside Kamryn’s nursery and the details and layers we’ve added throughout the space.

Kamryn’s Nursery

When planning for the nursery design, we knew we’d start with the existing finishes of the yellow bedroom in our home. As the open bedroom with the best space and storage, it made the most sense for Kamryn to grow into. The room’s existing yellow wallpaper served as a pretty, gender-neutral foundation and a great jumping-off point. We left the queen-size Jenny Lind bed for guests when needed and added a matching hand-me-down brass crib gifted to us by our friends.

Upholstery fabrics were some of the first elements we decided on, and we love the clashing Lulie Wallace fabrics we chose for the window treatments and bed. The ruffled rainbow linen bedding adds a playful, whimsical element to the space, and curated art like the vintage mid-century paper collage brings personality. Oversized lamps that feel like art made out of reclaimed coconut shells add texture to the nightstands, and a cozy slipcovered glider chair is our new most-used spot in the house.

Cozy Updates in The Snug

Since the very first days of the Tudor Home, the Snug has been our family’s favorite lounge spot. We took this space from an awkward primary bedroom to a workspace for Quinn that would double as an entertaining space, and it’s evolved even more since Kamryn’s arrival. We kept the heart of the room the same — grounded by beautiful woven grass from Elitis France wallpaper and millwork painted Benjamin Moore’s Caponata, and added in a few cozier elements.

Switching out the sofa for a larger sectional and trading the coffee table for a custom upholstered storage ottoman adds an element of softness and function to the room, which is more important than ever with a new baby.

Wallpaper Additions

One of the best parts about our wallpaper collaboration with Chasing Paper has been adding the pieces to our home. We designed so much of this collection with historic homes like the Tudor in mind, so the selections feel like a natural fit in our spaces. Bringing the Posey Stipe wallpaper into our bathroom introduced the perfect dose of color and fun while keeping with the original design’s timeless feeling. In the primary bedroom, we couldn’t help but add Vintage Plaid to the ceiling, and we love how it draws the eye up and creates so much depth in the room.

Lastly, we covered the guest bedroom head-to-toe in Market Floral, which has to be one of my favorite home upgrades to date. Covering every inch of a room with irregularly shaped ceilings is no joke, but it was worth it in the end.

Refreshed Kitchen Details

In the kitchen, we’ve added a few more details alongside our Unique Kitchens & Bath’s cabinetry and incorporated a lovely new light from Huey Lightshop above the table. The playful scallops add a lot to the space and align perfectly with our original Alice In Wonderland-inspired design vision. This project was a great reminder that sometimes changing one piece can make a significant impact, and refreshing your home doesn’t have to mean re-hauling everything, especially in the kitchen!
